LiDAR Acquisition & Production

Using multiple collection platforms (fixed wing or rotor aircraft and mobile),
we acquire LiDAR data over the area of interest and begin processing as soon
as the data is captured. The LiDAR sensor is integrated with airborne GPS
and an inertial measuring unit (IMU) to simultaneously capture light pulse information, location of the sensor, and angle or orientation of the sensor.

BAE Systems has conducted extensive LiDAR collection and processing efforts in support of several programs including the Pennsylvania State-wide LiDAR and Ortho Program (PAMAP), the Buckeye Program over Iraq for the US Army, and Mobile LiDAR projects for the New Jersey and Pennsylvania Departments of Transportation.
